I need to clear the clutter - in my home, my brain, and my schedule.
My personality is one that likes to do many things and likes to be helpful - but the downside is that sometimes I fill my schedule with meaningless but busy things and sometimes I just clutter my life without really doing [...]

This week, I’m supposed to switch it up a bit and ASK for a tip (or tips).  Easy enough!
